Reflexology

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a gentle, noninvasive, totally holistic
therapy based on the principle that there are reflexes
in the feet, hands and ears that correspond to every
organ, gland and part of the body. It is a whole body
treatment - not just a foot massage.

In a reflexology treatment, pressure is exerted on
these reflexes by the thumbs and fingers, combining
this with massage, relaxation and joint mobilization
techniques. The result is homeostasis (internal balance)
in the body.

Reflexology is safe and helpful for people at any age; children especially may benefit from this form of treatment. Reflexology may induce labour, so pregnant women are advised to only seek treatment near the very end of their pregnancy.

Benefits of Reflexology

Stress Reduction
When we are stressed our body's defenses break down
and we become more susceptible to illness and disease.
Reflexology reduces stress by generating deep tranquil
relaxation, helping the body balance itself and allowing
healing energy to flow.

Improved Circulation
Blood needs to flow freely throughout the body carrying
oxygen and nutrients to all the cells and removing the
waste products of metabolism and other toxins. By reducing
stress and tension, reflexology allows the cardiovascular
vessels to conduct the flow of blood naturally and easily.

Stimulated Nerve Function
By stimulating more than 7,000 nerves in the feet, reflexology
encourages the opening and clearing of neural pathways.
It interrupts pain pathways, reducing pain.

Improved Immune System
Reflexology stimulates the lymphatic system thus reducing
risk of infection. It cleanses the body of toxins and
impurities and also stimulates the production of endorphins,
leading to an improved immune system and sense of well-being.

Increased Energy
Reflexology revitalizes energy throughout the body by
relaxing and opening up energy pathways.

Osteopathic Manual Manipulation
A hands-on gentle approach used to identify structural changes and rhythms in the body. Osteopathy treats movement restrictions in your body tissues by removing restrictions to the natural flow of body fluids (lymphatic, vascular, and neurological), which must be liberated, preserved and maintained. When the body has no restrictions, it has the inherent ability to heal itself. Full
